Sometimes things happen that we just won’t understand this side of heaven. Tragedy struck one of our own in July of 2020. Libby Parker Martin was an IA Intern Grad after interning at East Side Church in Anderson, Indiana, in the summer of 2011. She was a force for change and dreamed of empowering women to do what God had created them to do. She hoped to have many interns in the non-profit world through her ministry.
Libby gave birth to Ava Rose on June 26, 2020, yet after only a few days with Ava, Libby passed away unexpectedly.
In honor of Libby and her dream, IA has started the Genesis Project: a project to start new internships, including non-profits every year. In 2021 we started 3 new internships in The first was in Niles, Michigan at Hope Community Church. The second was a non-profit Camp in Bedford, Indiana at Camp Challenge. The third was an inner city mission non-profit in Indianpolis, Indiana called the Dat House.
In 2022 we hope to start 5 more internships. When you give to the Intern Academy you help launch new internships, which train new interns for a variety of ministries who are desperate for leadership.
